Thanks

 

The website on which it was found seems legitimate enough, with (a few) references to it from cam.ac.uk

What I do not know is what the accreditation by Cambridge International Examinations means, other than becoming a "Cambridge International Associate Partner Centre".

Still, the European Business School does set off warning bells. An offshoot of an "Irish" International University, with a "European" Business School, with a postal address in Malaysia and a web address registered in the Ascension slands (ac), almost as if they were trying to confuse people.

 

"Accreditation" in this use doesn't mean the same thing. As implied above, it likely means they've been approved to provide instruction. It almost certainly does not imply approval of degrees issued by EBS, if any.

 

My understanding of this accreditation is that they can award Cabridge awards in business.

I could be wrong.

I accessed other such partners and they state the exact names of Cambridge management certificates, diplomas they can award,

University of Cambridge International Diplomas
Administrative Management
Business
Project Management
Teachers & Trainers
Cambridge Career Awards in Business
Cambridge Management Awards
Cambridge Diploma in Project Management
Cambridge Career Awards in Travel and Tourism
Cambridge Advanced Levels: Accounting, Economics, Law, Sociology

 

the real european business school is perfectly legit and in fact among the best/highest ranked business colleges in europe, this strange entity I would be real careful about already because of the name identity with the renowned institution.

Best wishes

 

I hear you.

I did more research and find that it was operated from student hostale in the 90's when Dr. Bear visited their campus - IIE.

IIE has a few accreditations that only mills use.

Thanks all for the input on this.
